Any computer nerds here? Hard reboots
#20
RE: Any computer nerds here? Hard reboots
I don't think it's strange that CPU is spiking during in-game video. Who knows what kind of process they are running to get that video to your screen? (Oh, Jorg already said that.)

Here are your likely culprits: overheating, PSU problem, RAM fail, bad drivers, God is mad at you because of pr0n.

We've already addressed heating, it sounds like. You've already updated your drivers-- you might want to google your problem with the newest driver, because sometimes a driver rollback saves all-- I assume you've already tried removing the card and running your onboard GPU. You can try MEMTEST to see if your RAM is failing; or leave just a single stick in at a time and see if you still get the crash. And, of course, you can replace the PSU.

Does the event viewer give you any hint what's going on?
